The Most Boring Book Ever Written (a choose-your-own-adventure)
From the authors of "The Adventures of Whatley Tupper" and "The Redemption of Mr. Sturlubok" comes something much more boring... The Most Boring Book Ever Written (a choose-your-own-adventure) is now FREE at Amazon.com (which is a very appropriate price) http://www.amazon.com/Most-Boring-Bo.../dp/B007Y0P18K Be honest. Life is boring. So now go with it. Do you hit snooze or turn off the alarm? Do you take a shower or run the bath? Do you have a bowl of cereal in the morning or skip breakfast? Do you turn off the freeway to avoid congestion or stay on the interstate? Do you keep waiting on hold or hang up the phone? These choices (and many more) await you. This book is not at all affiliated with the original Choose-Your-Own-Adventure series of children's books. Say what you will about them, but they're not mundane. Those books have very large and imposing snowmen, or caves that allow you to travel through time. Although outlandish, they are not boring. This book is just boring. Do no expect anything interesting to happen in this book. It is the most boring book ever written. |

My name is Jonathon House. I enjoy being surrounded by fun and imaginative people and want to pursue a career that allows me to work in a fun creative environment. To me you learn something new everyday and I express everything I have learnt through my art and design. All my life I have been drawn to art, skate, and surf magazines - I love the fresh and unique style that they offer. I enjoy incorporating these influences into my own design style, which also includes aspects of music and fashion. In my spare time I like to listen to musicians express their talent and creation which I find inspires my own design creativity. |

Denver (AP) Colorado lawmakers are hoping a new economic forecast won't force them to make deeper cuts in the state budget.
Legislative economists plan to release the forecast today. In it, they'll try to predict how much tax revenue the state should expect to get through June, the end of the state's fiscal year.
Economists have said that tax revenue dropped by 2.4 percent between July and February. But that's only one of many factors they're taking into account in trying to predict state revenue.
Making their job even harder is the fact that the bulk of the state revenue, in the form of income tax returns, doesn't come in and get processed until April, may and even June.
So far, lawmakers have been anticipating a $600 million drop in revenues.

Hey everyone!!
Winter is getting closer! It's starting to get colder in Colorado and I'm super excited for the season to start. I've been pretty busy lately. Last February I tore my ACL and had to get surgery. Unfortunately it's a 6+ month recovery and I had to do a ton of physical therapy. It was hard knowing my friends were out having fun when I was stuck inside. But all that physical therapy paid off because my knee feels good as new. I'm back on my skateboard and taking it easy until the season starts.

Exclusive: Legal Expert Says Chris Brown Could Get 30 Years For Hate Crime Attack
- By Bossip Staff Categories: Bossip Exclusives, Catch Fade, GayCould Breezy be facing some serious slammer time following his fade with Frank Ocean?
BOSSIP spoke with a legal expert who says Chris Brown could be looking at a whole lotta time!
"It is my understanding that there have been reports that the altercation between Mr. Chris Brown and Mr. Frank Ocean involved more nefarious issues than a parking space," Atlanta based lawyer Kevin T. Connor told BOSSIP. "Specifically, it has been suggested that the incident was motivated and fueled by Mr. Brown's anti-gay sentiments. If it could be established that, indeed, the brawl was motivated by the actual or perceived sexual orientation of the victim, it could be prosecuted as a hate crime in the State of California and/or under federal law."
Here's the definition of a hate crime:
Generally speaking, a "hate crime" is one where the accused uses force or threatens the use of force to injure, intimidate, or interfere with another's exercise of constitutional rights if motivated by the actual or perceived membership in a protected class, including race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. The litmus test is the motivation of the aggressor, which may be established by the nature of the accused's prior statements and conduct, including through those exhibited through social media.
In other words — Breezy's past comments, on Twitter and offline can be used to establish a hate crime motivation. What's worse is that the fight happened in California which happens to be the first state to pass legislation specific to hate crimes.
Connor also says that even if the L.A. County prosecutor chooses not to pursue the case, he could still face a civil lawsuit.
"The commission of a hate crime might also expose Mr. Brown to civil liability," Connor added when discussing the case with BOSSIP. "In such a case, the circumstances do not require the violence be extreme or motivated by hate, or even that the acts constitute a crime."
And if you're wondering what a criminal charge would mean for Breezy, let's just say if he does end up in a criminal court, he might as well cancel any tour plans:
"Prosecution under a hate crime statute provides for an enhanced punishment beyond the normal maximum sentence for the underlying crime," Connor told BOSSIP. "In California, for example, should Mr. Brown be charged and convicted of felony assault in this case, his 2-4 year sentence could be enhanced (increased) under the hate crime statute by another 1-4 years, depending upon whether he is found to have acted in concert with others. Additionally, because Mr. Brown is on probation for his previous assault on Rihanna, he is subject to having the balance of his probation revoked, which is to say that he could go to jail for the remainder of his probationary period in addition to any new sentence."
Connor added that while it's unlikely, it is possible that the case could be certified by the US Attorney General. In that event, Mr. Brown may also be subject to Federal prosecution under the Civil Rights Act of 1968. 18 USC Section 245.
In other words messing with Frankie can get you federal charges!!!

25 September 2013 The situation in Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines is now a humanitarian crisis, as tens of thousands of people remain forcibly displaced, the United Nations said today, calling for support to the victims of the recent wave of violence in the country.
"We are increasingly alarmed by the situation and the growing needs of people caught up with violence," said the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in the Philippines, Luiza Carvalho. "We are particularly concerned for the most vulnerable, especially the well-being of women and children."
Earlier this month, armed clashes erupted between Government forces and non-State actors in Zamboanga City. Some 132 people have died as a result of the standoff and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that some 158,000 people have been affected by the violence and more than 10,000 homes have been destroyed. In addition, over 109,000 people are now displaced in Zamboanga City and nearly 19,000 are displaced in the Basilan province.
Ms. Carvalho expressed concern over the plight of those displaced, many of whom are struggling to survive. Some 70,000 people are currently staying in the main sports complex in Zamboanga City in overcrowded conditions and insufficient sanitation facilities. OCHA warned there is a real risk of a disease outbreak and an urgent need for food, drinking water, health services, cooking utensils, tents and other necessities.
"We are particularly concerned that aid is delivered in an impartial manner, with the needs of the most vulnerable met and those outside the evacuation centres not forgotten," Ms. Carvalho said.
"We expect that all humanitarian workers providing support to the victims of violence are protected and respected, and their safety is ensured by all actors."
She also reiterated OCHA's commitment to the humanitarian response as well as its support for Government efforts to respond and provide assistance to civilians.

In addition, the department provides offers minors in Chinese and Russian and two-year instruction in Latin, Korean, Swahili, Japanese, Portuguese, Ancient Greek, and Persian. Through the department's course offerings, study abroad programs, organizations and clubs, and the presence of faculty with research areas in diverse foreign cultures, the department embodies cultural diversity, particularly international diversity. The programs in the Foreign Language, Literatures, and Cultures Department are designed for the following purposes: to teach the student to understand and speak a language with facility; develop skills in reading and writing; to provide an acquaintance with foreign literatures; develop an appreciation of foreign cultures; and to prepare students for the teaching profession, government work, international trade and research leading to advanced degrees.

The following Professional minors are offered: the Law Enforcement Spanish Minor, Medical Spanish Minor, Legal Spanish Minor, Business Spanish Minor, Business French Minor, Business German Minor, Business Italian Minor, and Translation / Interpretation Minor.Tell me more about this field of study
There is more to learning languages than simply learning the language. Language acquisition teaches one to learn how to think, analyze, communicate, and increase one's own cultural enrichment. The study of foreign cultures also helps people to understand who they are and where they are coming from and gain a better understanding of their own culture. The foreign language experience will develop the kind of global awareness, sophistication and flexibility of cultural response that Americans will need if they are to retain their competitive edge in the world markets of the 21st century.
Tell me more about specialization
Specializations in this field tend to be in the particular language and culture chosen to focus one's interests within a particular career area, such as government, education, business or non profit. The foreign language specialist engages in translating, interpreting, or teaching in one or more foreign languages. The specialist ordinarily possesses and uses knowledge of the literature, culture, and historical development of the country in which the language is used. In addition to pursuing a job in which the primary focus is the use of another language, many opportunities exist for the use of additional language skills in other career areas. Medicine, health services, law, business, libraries, museums, social service, and public service illustrate some of the professions in which competency in one or more additional languages opens up specialized career opportunities.
Common majors or minors that complement this major
Some common combinations are: Anthropology (Cultural), Africana Studies, Art History, Asian Studies, Classical Studies, Communication Studies (Organizational Communication or Public Relations),Criminal Justice, Economics, English, English as a Second Language, Human Resource Development, Health Sciences, History, Historical Archeology, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Human Science, International Affairs, International Business, International Humanities, Justice Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Management, Middle Eastern Communities and Migrations, Philosophy and Religion, Political Science, Psychology, Public Policy and Administration, Russian Studies, Secondary Education, Social Work, Theatre and Dance, Writing, Rhetoric and Technical Communication, World Literature, and Women's Studies.
Characteristics of Successful Students
Naturally, success in our program comes more easily to those students with a keen interest in learning another language and learning about another culture.
Many graduates choose typical career paths associated with this major. However, some graduates choose unrelated careers that utilize skills and experiences developed during their years in college. Keep in mind, that some fields will require graduate study or further training. The listing below offers examples of possible career paths and is not meant to be comprehensive.

Euro: EU Calls For 'Banking Union,' Portugal To Inject More Than EUR 6.65B
The Euro climbed to a high of 1.2465 as Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy called for a 'banking union' in Europe, and it seems as though the EU will increase its push to recapitalize the banking system through the permanent bailout fund as the group struggles to restore investor confidence. At the same time, French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici voiced his support to increase the scope of the ESM, stating that it may be up for discussion at the next EU Summit on June 28-29, while European Central Bank board member Ewald Nowotny said the current move is the 'right' idea, 'but will need significant time to be realized.'
In response, a spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel argued that 'it's up to national governments to decide whether they want to avail themselves of aid from the backstop and accept the conditions linked to it,' and we are likely to see increased pressure on the European Central Bank to ease policy further as the governments operating under the fixed-exchange rate system become increasingly reliant on monetary support. Meanwhile, Portugal announced it will inject more than EUR 6.65B into its three-largest banks amid the ongoing turmoil in the financial system, but the growing threat for contagion will continue to dampen the outlook for the region as European policy makers try to buy more time. Although the ECB is widely expected to keep the benchmark interest rate at 1.00% in June, market participants are pricing a 17% chance for a 25bp rate cut later this week, and we should see the Governing Council carry its easing cycle into the second-half of the year as the fundamental outlook for the region continues to deteriorate. As the relative strength index on the EURUSD climbs back from oversold territory, the pair looks poised for a correction, but we are waiting to see a break and a close above the 10-Day SMA (1.2497) to see the rebound gather pace.
British Pound: Risk-Trends To Drive Prices Amid U.K. Holiday
The British Pound pared the decline from Friday despite the market holiday in the U.K., and the GBPUSD may continue to track higher over the next 24-hours of trading as market participants increase their appetite for risk. Although the Bank of England is schedule to meet later this week, we may see the central bank refrain from releasing a statement as the Monetary Policy Committee is widely expected to preserve its current policy in June, and the sterling may face sideways price action ahead of the meeting minutes due out on the 20th as market participants continue to see more quantitative easing in Britain. Even though the GBPUSD remains oversold, we need to see the RSI climb back above 30 to see a meaningful correction, and the pair may continue to come up against the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement from the 2009 low to high around 1.5270 as it searches for support.
U.S. Dollar: Weighed By Risk Sentiment, Fed's To Preserve Cautious Tone
The greenback continued to lose ground on Monday, with the Dow Jones-FXCM U.S. Dollar Index (Ticker: USDOLLAR) slipping to a low of 10,210, and the reserve currency may continue to consolidate in the days ahead as it appears to have carved a short-term top coming into June. In light of the dismal developments coming out of the world's largest economy, Fed policy makers may continue to strike a cautious tone for the region, and the Beige Book on tap for later this week may highlight a softer outlook for growth and inflation amid the ongoing slack in private sector activity. Nevertheless, as the recovery gets on a more sustainable path, we should see the FOMC move away from its easing cycle, and the central bank may sound more hawkish later this year amid the stickiness in underlying price growth.

ADHD in Adults (cont.) IN THIS ARTICLE
ADHD in Adults Signs and Symptoms
Patient Comments
Read 7 Comments
Symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents are predominantly external and easy to observe, such as physical hyperactivity. An exception is predominantly inattentive ADHD, formerly referred to as ADD, which is more common in girls. With age, a decrease in observable symptoms of ADHD seems to occur. Adults with ADHD have a longer delay before refocusing when their attention is misdirected, and they have difficulty switching tasks. The hyperactivity and impulsivity of adult ADHD are often more subtle than those symptoms types in children. For example, while hyperactivity may result in children being fidgety and frequently getting up from sitting, this symptom in adults may involve the adult getting bored easily and being unhappy about having to sit still rather than having to frequently change their position. On neuropsychological tests, these individuals often have trouble with sustained effort, planning, organization, visual tracking, and listening attentively. ADHD is characterized by a long-term history of inattention, impulsiveness, and variable amounts of hyperactivity. Remember that all of these symptoms are normal human characteristics, so ADHD is not diagnosed solely based on the presence of these normal human behaviors. ADHD is determined by the degree of these behaviors and their interference with important areas of life. People with ADHD have these normal human characteristics to an excessive degree, with a poor ability to easily control them.

Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for Intel, Cree, OmniVision Technologies and Analog Devices
(http://www.nextinning.com), a subscription service focused on semiconductor
and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Intel
(Nasdaq: INTC), Cree (Nasdaq: CREE), OmniVision Technologies (Nasdaq: OVTI),
and Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI).
Throughout 2008, McWilliams has advised Next Inning readers that there
were two things we could count on this year; a big dip in October and a
subsequent Q4 rally. On
during what was yet another down day, McWilliams outlined what it would take
to ignite a rally. Interestingly, by the next afternoon we were given one of
the rally catalysts and on Monday, teased with yet another. To read what
McWilliams thinks needs to happen next and how investors should position
themselves, please accept our invitation to take a complimentary test-drive by
visiting the link below.
In his report covering worldwide semiconductor sales, McWilliams wrote:
"Intel can out-fabricate not only any other semiconductor company on the
planet, but also virtually all consortiums that I can envision coming into
existence. While AMD's partnership with the nearly trillion-dollar Sovereign
Wealth Fund of
private equity in the semiconductor sector is dismal at best…"
McWilliams also looks at these topics: -- Are analysts being overly skeptical of Intel's ability to maintain its gross profit margin through the downturn? -- Why might 2009 be a watershed year for Cree investors? -- What circumstance could lead to a doubling or tripling of OmniVision's stock price? -- What are the risks facing Analog Devices and how might the company overcome them?

Spoilers: WWE Saturday Morning Slam Taping Results
Jan 8, 2013 - by Steve Gerweck
1. Kofi Kingston Kingston beat Epico. Kofi is sporting a new tattoo on his back. Chinese letters straight down his spine. Due to my lack of the foreign language, I have no idea what it says. Guessing it does not say combo number 5, though. Kofi won in an easy match.
2. The Miz defeated Darren Young. A decent back and forth action. Miz won hands down and was a crowd favorite. It seems The Miz is becoming the next Cena based on this crowd. The same age demographics were cheering for him with "Miz is awesome" chants. The ring being changed. Smackdown is up next.

Guest Column: Letter to President Barack Obama re: citizen harassment
By Dan Sears
Dear Mr. President:
Do you realize that Big Brother, the Gestapo and the KGB could still be active by congressional law? Yes, right here in little Roscoe, Illinois (61073).
Last evening (Aug. 17) my wife and I were leaving (about 6 p.m.) for supper, and I noticed a strange car and person sitting in the road in front of our neighbor's house. As we are somewhat rural, I turned around and went back, but by that time he was turning into another neighbor's driveway, and sitting there. I thought perhaps he had located the party he wanted to visit. Oh no! He's coming back, but by that time he was turning into another neighbor's driveway, and I see our neighbor flagging us down from her back yard. We stop … she is shaking and on the verge of tears.
Apparently, this individual has been around before, and she found out he has been asking personal questions about her family, at other neighborhood houses.
I decided to confront the individual. He very "officially" flashed a neck badge at me, while he is still sitting smugly in his car, and told me he was from the "American Community Survey" and this was none of my business! I told him rather clearly, in words I'm sure he would not have any trouble understanding, that any strange person in our neighborhood, just sitting around was definitely my business.
Our neighbor informed this creep that she had called the sheriff to look into this. He, strangely, did not seem a bit concerned!
My wife and I left. When we got back, our neighbor called and told us the sheriff had been there, had investigated this guy and his car, and spent almost an hour talking to the person. Come to find out the American Community Survey is real! And if you do not complete and return their request for information form, they can send a "supervisor" to harass you into answering their questions (please note: this is not from the official Census Bureau, which we all try to respond to) but from an agency that looks like, sounds like, and could possibly be part of a scam, as far as the typical citizen is concerned! And better yet, if you still refuse to answer the very personal questions, from a very suspicious character, you could be fined $100 (per the sheriff's information). Wrong, according to the Internet, our wonderful, caring, elected officials in Congress upped the possible fine to $5,000 in 1984! And even our local law enforcement agencies are not informed of this sinister, pompous group!
How much prying can a citizen tolerate before there is a "Mideast" mindset? Have you personally been investigated by this group? Why has it been a hidden agency? What do they need this information for (to stem uprisings?). How much of my tax dollars are spent supporting this dark group? I cannot even begin to imagine the cost of having these "supervisors" follow up on the form refusals. Is this some kind of Soylent Green department? What business is it of theirs as to what time I leave for work and get home … is this information supposed to help them gain entry and "bug" our suspicious residences?
Needless to say, we are really p—-d off!!! What other dark, undercover programs are the citizens being subjected to? I know you have your hands full, trying to keep the "wackos" appeased, but please give the loyal, hard-working citizens a break from this type of stealthy garbage!
I hope you can find a moment to address this issue and let us know what is going on.

"Excellent story, terrible narration/production"
I had no clue as to what this book was about when I bought it, only that it was a friend's #1 choice for a SK book. After listening to it, I have no doubt as to why. This story is something of nightmares and it makes me wonder what Stephen King sees when he sleeps. Gerald's Game constantly twists and turns into new directions, never giving the listener a recovery period from what just happened. I'm not complaining, though. It was truly an amazing book that I would recommend to anyone who likes a visceral reaction from their fiction.
On the downside, the narrator is not fit for this type of fiction, maybe not any type. She sounds like someone who would be great at documentaries or historical non-fiction. The tone of this book didn't lend itself to her rhythm, and based on the storyline, another narrator would have really seit it off. If you like a monotone/news anchor style, then Lindsay Crouse is for you. Otherwise, stay focused on the story. If another narrator picked up this book, I'd definitely listen to it again.
Another critique that I can't leave out is the production. The individual who decided it would be a great idea to randomly place cheezy 80's synthesizer sounds throughout the book WAY more often than necessary should not be allowed to oversee an audiobook production again......ever.
"Not as entertaining as Sookie"
After reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels, I decided to continue with Charlaine Harris because I liked her style. A positive about this book is that it is very well written and is definitely more mature than the Sookie novels, but the negative couldn't overshadow the positive. This book started off very interesting but after an hour I began having a hard time listening because it became boring. Unfortunately, it continued to be a letdown. Never really drew me in like Gillian Flynn would. Overall, I would consider this book one of my least favorite.
A poor climax that took forever to achieve.
She did not sound like a woman in her early 20s which made it hard for me to see the character as being her age.
The relationship between Harper Connolly and her brother bordered on incestuous which was very uncomfortable, to say the least. I found myself cringing everytime there was an instance of them touching.
"Definitely A "Dark Place""
The hard part of the story is that I didn't have a favorite character; they were all, for a lack of a better way to state it, human - full of flaws and ugly truths about the human condition. I found each character appauling in some way, shape or form, but with each character's narration, I found myself looking forward to the next's perspective of the events.
I have read that Libby Day's narration was very blank, but I liked the sad, monotone sound. I felt like it most accurately represented the character's deep depression.
The very beginning of the book draws the reader in, making it hard not to wonder what brought Libby's tragic character where she's at today.
The ending left something to be desired. Like her book "Girl Gone," the end left me dangling out there thinking why she wouldn't give any type of closure to the character's inner struggles. Overall, the book was an interesting read. The troubling characters made it hard to turn the book off because I was looking forward to the next character's point of view. If you like her writing style, you won't be disappointed.

How does making a list of the materials that
you will require for your experiment help? Very simply, this will ensure that
you have all of the materials ready when you need them. It's important to be
specific. You should mention dimensions and weight where necessary - approximate
measurements may suffice for some of your projects.
Here's a sample material list from our sunscreen lotion experiment. Materials list- 16 sheets of glass (approximately 550 mm in length x 550 mm wide).- 5 brands of sunscreen with SPF 15 - 5 brands of sunscreen with SPF 30 - 5 brands of sunscreen with SPF 50 - 1 UV meter to measure the UV index readings - 1 bottle of glass cleaner - A box of disposable gloves (at least 15 gloves) - 1 piece of cloth - A pair of thick safety gloves - 1 wooden box with no covering on the top (approximately 500 mm in length x 500 mm wide)
Conducting the experiment
As you proceed with your experiment, these are a few things that you need to remember:
1. Carefully and accurately record your observations in your project journal 2. All measurements should be precise and carefully recorded, making the necessary adjustments for systematic errors. 3. All data should be meticulously recorded in a table/chart. Common Mistakes in Applying the Scientific Method
1. Failing to conduct the experiment
Believe it or not, the most common mistake made by scientists is to accept the hypothesis for an explanation of a phenomenon, without performing experimental tests! Sometimes "common sense" and "logic" tempt us into believing that no test is needed! Amazing huh? 2. Ignoring relevant data Another common mistake is to ignore or "rule out" data which does not support the hypothesis. As a scientist, you should be completely open to the possibility that the hypothesis is correct or incorrect. Sometimes, however, a scientist may have a strong belief that the hypothesis is true (or false). Also, often, a scientist may be under pressure for various reasons to get a specific result. In such cases, there is a tendency to find "something wrong" with data which does not support the scientist's expectations, while data which does agree with those expectations may not be challenged as carefully. A responsible scientist must evaluate all data objectively and honestly, without bias.
